With the huge amount of space the archive is starting to take up it is probably
unreasonable to require official mirrors to carry the whole thing. If mirrrors
run into space problems they should be able to remove the less used parts
of the archive.
BTW Jason, /debian/home/treacy/web/lists contains the raw list mail. It could
be moved to another disk (it's 545MB). The people in charge of the list archives
should be contacted before moving it though.
